Evil Animals Triple Feature (2007)

Plot Synopsis

Grizzly: - trailer - This blood-drenched bear isn't looking for "pick-a-nick baskets," and Mr. Ranger isn't forgiving any "boo-boos" -- not this time. An innocent day in the park turns deadly when a bear that is inexplicably 18 feet tall emerges from the forest. Another great edition to the "mutant killer animals" genre, GRIZZLY should be avoided by people with a phobia of bears but is a must-see for fans of the unrealistic horror film.

Day of the Animals: - trailer - A group of animal lovers are victims of an ironic twist of fate when mutant wildlife reign terror over them in this fantastical suspense film. These kind souls, who have convened in the woods of Northern California for a two-week camping trip, are delighted to spend time in the nature that they adore. However, the indigenous animals who greet them are no longer cute, gentle creatures; they have been turned into evil, mutated versions of themselves due to the depletion of the ozone layer. A fierce and frightening battle for survival ensues in this unique environmental horror film. Watch for an early appearance from NAKED GUN star Leslie Nielsen! 

Devil Dog: - trailer - A possessed pup captures the souls of his owners and even kills the family maid. He wasn't man's best friend - he was the Devil's spawn. Made for television. ~ VideoUniverse.com

DVD Features Included:  3-Disc Keep Case

Hercules and the Captive Women/Hercules, Prisoner of Evil (1961)

Plot Synopsis:  Here's a double dose of mighty muscles courtesy of champion bodybuilder Reg Park as Hercules. In his debut, Hercules and the Captive Women, Hercules and Androcles (Ettore Manni), the King of Tebes, journey to the island of Atlantis where the evil queen (Fay Spain) has hatched a diabolical plan for world domination. Filmed on a particularly lavish scale, this was the only Hercules film photographed in 70mm; this stunning widescreen presentation preserves its sumptuous spectacle for your home viewing enjoyment. Then Reg and Ettore return in Hercules, Prisoner of Evil, helmed by famed Euro-horror director Antonio Margheriti, who combines elements of the sword-and-sorcery and horror genres. An evil sorceress seduces Hercules and gives him a magic potion which turns him into a terrifying monster bent on death and destruction! ~ Amazon.com

DVD Features Included:  Keep Case

The Kommissar X Collection (1966)

Plot Synopsis:  A bountiful sci-fi triple feature of girls, goons and guns!

Kiss Kiss Kill Kill: Based on a popular series of German adventure novels, the Kommissar X films sprang up in Germany as competition to the popular exploits of James Bond. Private eye Joe Walker (so cool and egotistical that he has his own personal theme song!) and police captain Tom Rowland must find out who's killing off a group of influential businessmen. The reason? A fortune in gold made radioactive so it couldn't be claimed for five years... but now someone can't wait!

Death Is Nimble, Death Is Quick: The crime-fighting duo journey to Ceylon to tangle with murder, kidnaping, extortion and the threat to unleash a deadly bacteria. Soon they're tangling with a deadly group called "Three Yellow Cats" and their leader, King, in a karate fight to the death!

So Darling, So Deadly: A scientist invents a filter that can increase the power of a laser beam, turning it into a death ray! A dangerous crime organization wants the device and will stop at nothing to get it, while murder and violence follow Joe and Tom to Singapore as they try to foil the evil plans. ~ Amazon.com

Masters of Horror - Pelts (2006) (DVD review)

- trailer (flash)
- clip (face chopped off)

Plot Synopsis:  From the second season of Showtime's Masters of Horror series comes the next Dario Argento offering, Pelts, which is far creepier than his last attempted made-for-TV thrillers (Do You Like Hitchcock and Jenifer). Meatloaf stars as Jake, a sleazy furrier whose obsession for a lesbian stripper named Shannon results in his attempting to make the finest fur ever for her to wear at an upcoming fur trade show. John Saxon (Tenebre) plays a trapper who comes through for Jake by setting traps in sacred raccoon territory to capture the most beautiful animals imaginable. However, as these raccoons are magical guardians of a lost raccoon city, they curse all associated with the deaths of their brethren with the desire to commit gory suicides using techniques employed in the manufacturing of fur coats. Quite disgusting are scenes of a seamstress sewing her eyes and nose shut with thread, or of a man cutting his belly open with shears to gut himself. One can only infer what Jake's fate might be. The film's disturbing ambience is amplified when suicides occur in the skinning and tanning rooms of Jake's fur factory. Close-ups of the raccoons' faces and shots of their ancient city, which boasts raccoon-carved sculptures, remind one of the absurdity of magical raccoons as crime instigators. But simultaneously the message of Pelts is made clear. Pelts would make any PETA member proud, if not nauseous. ~ Amazon.com

Saw & Frailty (Unrated)

Plot Synopsis

Saw: - trailer - Be prepared to be scared. James Wan's directorial debut, written by and starring Leigh Whannell, is a violent, bloody, psychologically exhausting and exhilarating exercise in terror. Adam (Whannell) and Dr. Gordon (Cary Elwes) are chained in a vile, disgusting bathroom, separated by a bloody corpse holding a gun and a tape recorder. They are each given a saw--the only obvious way out is to cut one of their feet off. A serial killer who specializes in torturing morally bereft strangers is playing a game with them: Gordon has less than eight hours to kill Adam or else the doctor's wife (Monica Potter) and daughter (Mackenzie Vega) will be murdered. As the two men engage in a battle of wits, alternately trying to help each other and secretly attempting to win the game, a series of flashbacks reveals the history of the madman and the pair of detectives (Danny Glover and Ken Leung) handling the case. Some of the torture scenes are excruciatingly horrible and hard to watch, a real treat for fans of the genre. Inspired by the work of David Lynch (BLUE VELVET, TWIN PEAKS) and Dario Argento (SUSPIRIA, INFERNO), Wan has created a scintillating suspense thriller that will have audiences continually shocked, repelled, frightened, and surprised, right up to the very last second (which Whannell has said was influenced by the endings of such films as THE USUAL SUSPECTS and THE SIXTH SENSE). The accompanying heavy metal soundtrack is appropriately scary as well.

Frailty: - trailer - Actor Bill Paxton's directorial debut has been hailed for its originality by author Stephen King and director Sam Raimi (THE EVIL DEAD). The film opens on a stormy night when an intense man (Matthew McConaughey) walks into FBI headquarters in Dallas and tells Agent Wesley Doyle (Powers Boothe) that he knows who the "God's Hand" serial killer is. He tells a compelling tale, shown in flashback, of how he and his brother lived with their kind widower father (Bill Paxton), a mechanic. One night, their father woke them to tell them he'd had a vision, and that God had commanded the family to slay demons in human form. The older brother, Fenton (Matt O'Leary), doesn't believe a word of it, and assumes that their father has gone mad. The younger brother, Adam (Jeremy Sumpter), is more easily swayed. Soon the father is bringing people home, supposedly chosen by God for them to slay. When Fenton tries to resist his father's plan, he finds his own life in danger. Eschewing graphic gore in favor of more subtle chills, Paxton's suspenseful and creepy film harkens back to the wholesome surface and underlying depravity of classics like NIGHT OF THE HUNTER. ~ VideoUniverse.com
